You've had too easy an upbringing laddie. I OTOH am fortunate that I don't have to be so picky on the brand of cognac I drink. Less fussy= Lower outlay of cash. ^
Folks - try the San Juan Reserva* only 28 pesos a bottle.

* Not favoured by wine shop owners as the profit margin isn't very good.

Guilty as charged on the non favouring part of the above....

However, bad profit margin or not..... the SJ Reserva is still paint thinner.....

Is there a non-reserve that might be easier on wallet? (Is my Scottish heritage showing?)

It seems a shame to use the "good stuff" when all I need to do is thin paint.

Um, I don't think you're going to see a bottle with "cognac" and "Industria Argentina" on the label in the US anytime soon. Quelle horreur! It would be cheaper to have it manufactured in New Jersey
